Pratique was granted, and the vessel berthed about 2 p.m. After leaving Sydney moderate to fresh north-easterly to south-easterly winds, accompanied with thick weather and rain, were experienced until Tuesday. Thencc fine weather favoured the vessel. Amongst the imports brought by the Wimmera are: —3691 cases fruitj G2G6 packages dried fruits, 133 casos vegetables, 396 bags potatoes, 25 girders, G7O bags flour" 284 packages tea, 17-1 cases spirits, 550 sacks manure, 80 bags rice, 50 drums kerosene, 145 cases dates, IGS bars lead, 215 bags maize, 11G7 ■pieces timber, and large quantity sundries'; transhipments ex Goslar. The vessel is duo to leave for Melbourne, via southern ports, this afternoon. , ■ ROUNDING CAPE lIORN. It seems an easy matter to the landsman to round Cape Horn, but if a consensus of opinion were obtained from the multitude of real seadogs who have tried it from the eastern to the western shores of America, we would hear short stories of unwritten bravery and privation that would make the storming of " or !j Arthur pale into lesser significance. Tl\o sometimes goes money mad, and more often hero mad. And sometimes there is a shortage of both commodities. Rounding the Horn in the depth of winter means catching the lea of Slaten Island, hugging it closely, and then bucking the worst waves known in the world. OJd mariners say that they run 60ft. high there. But they are wrong. Scientific men know that the highest wave is about 15ft. from the height of the ocean level. Even - so, with the dip and the rise it must be to use a western expression. And that's what the storm-worn sailing vessels have to encounter. This Cape Horn winter season seems to have eclipsed itself. Let us turn to the recent list of disasters at present known. They are:

August 5: American ship Shenandoah, Baltimore to San Francisco, put into Melbourne in distress, leaking (damaged oil Cape Horn). British ship Glencairn, Rochester, England, for Seattle, wrecked at Cape San Paulo (near Cape Horn), about August 9. British ship Indoro, from Hamburg for San Francisco, wrecked about August 10 on Staten Island. American barque Prussia, from Norfolk,. Va., for Bremerton, wrecked on Staten Island 1 about August 10. British ship Louden Ilill, from "Liverpool for Vancouver, arrived at Cape Town August 17, damaged by storms off Capo Horn, with 13in. of water in hold, pumps broken," and docks badly damaged. " ■ . s ' On August 21 the Italian ship Blisa, after being buffeted off the Horn, had put in there with binnacle and compass carried away, steering gear damaged, and loss of sails. ' American ship Tillie E. Starbuck, from Now ,York for Honolulu, abandoned at sea; heavy weather Hearing Capo Horn. This is the heaviest list yet recorded, and we dread to state, looking at tho fears of underwriters, possibly more to hear from. The Panama Canal when built will do away with the Cape Irtorn trouble, and on that account alone would justify itself. The State Coal Department is to supply the Wimmora with 1000 tons of coal to-day. Tho barque Laura, 332 tons, has been chartered to load a cargo of hardwood at ■ Post Stephens for Wellington. Advice has been received that tho New Zealand Shipping Company's steamer Tongariro,' !froni London, resumed her voyage from Hobart at 11 p.m. on Tuesday. Sho is duo at Wellington on Sunday morning. Tho Ennerdale, of the Maoriland Shipping Company, left Sydney on Tuesday night for Auckland with a cargo of timber. Tho Torgauten, of tho same Company, is loading timber at Dargavillo, for New Plymouth., Tho Union Company's steamer Moura left Westport for Wellington last night, and is due to-day. The Te Anau was expected to leave Lytteiton last night for Wellington. Tho Mokoia, due from southern ports this morning, is bringing the Monowai's Melbourne and Hobart passengers. . According to the latest Sydney shipping list to hand, tho steamer Pondo, which • has been engaged in the trade between. Sydney, New Zealand, and Vancouver for some time under the auspices of the Alloy Line, arrived at Sydney on November 13 from New Caledonia to .tako the wool berth for Boston and New York, under the F.H.S. and B. flag. Tho barquentine Oberon,- having completed her dischargo at Dunedin, was towed to an anchorage in the lower 1 , harbour on Tuesday: morning. It was originally intended to send the vessel to Newcastle to load 'for the west coast of South America, but owing to the present crisis she will remain at Port Chalmers pending further instructions from lieadquar : ters. . '

Exit his Majesty's ship Asia.' Another of the relics of the wooden walls of England is about to pass into the hands of the shopbreakers; The decree has gone forth that, the Asia, for many years the stream reserve ship at Portsmouth, is to be placed in, the sale list, and she has accordingly been towed to the last berth of the condemned in Porches-; ter Creek. Built as an eighty-four gun vessel at Bombay in 1824, she carried the flag of Admiral Sir Edward Codriugtou as Commander-in-Chief, into Navarino Bay, on that fateful October 20, 1827, when the Ottoman power was crushed. Portsmouth harbour will lose one of its icdeeming features when the Asia passes between the Round Tower and Blockhouso Port on her last voyage. The tonnage launched by Scottish shipbuilders during September makes a total of 37 vessels, of 38,385 tons. This brings the output for the year up to 418 vessels of 498,148 tons, as compare dwitlv 318 vessels of 499,612 tons in the first nine months of last year. In this case also, the number is larger arid tlife tonnage smaller, so that the average size of vessels is lower. Of now contracts about 30,000 tons was reported during September. It is supposed, howevor, that a good many orders are placed, or practically placed, but are being kept back meantime, pending the ballot of the boiler makers on the acceptance of the Edinburgh agreement. Work is very scarce in some of the larger yards, and even apart from the threatened lock-out thorn will soon be a number of raen idle if a considerable number' of orders are not booked at an early dato. 4 METEOROLOGICAL. .
